Introduction

Here are 17 simple ways to make your home look more expensive. Let’s talk about it with me. In this blog, I’m going to share kind of what to do and what maybe not to do in a modern home.

gallery wall

• So if you do have a big gallery wall in your home, family photos, or just artwork, I would suggest maybe making them symmetrical. I really think that makes a huge difference in creating a more expensive, designer look in your home.
• A lot of people put photos up the stairs, and it’s just all mismatched. And I think if you have a landing in your stairwell, maybe make everything all aligned and symmetrical, and that will look a lot better and a lot more expensive.
• If you do want to take it a step further, I would also try changing out the photos to be all black and white, especially family photos. I think colored photos look nice, but if you want to kind of elevate your home a little bit, try replacing the same photos with black and white versions.

Try to incorporate larger, framed artwork in modern home.

• That’s the key frame, and try to steer clear of the canvas prints. And I know why people are drawn to them. They’re very affordable, and I think that’s because they’re kind of cheap. It is just that they look kind of cheap. It’s just canvas stretched around wood and stapled in the back, and you can get them anywhere. I mean, they’re just mass-produced, and they all look very similar.
• But what people don’t realize is that getting framed artwork isn’t that much more expensive, and sometimes it’s even less expensive. So what you’re seeing here in my living room is a three-piece framed artwork set.

Let’s move to the bathroom.

• In the bathroom, there’s a super simple way to instantly make your bathroom look and feel luxurious and expensive, and that’s by incorporating very soft plush bath towels.
• While we’re in the bathroom, my next tip is to consider updating your bathroom faucets. This is a very simple afternoon update that you can do that will make a huge impact. And I’m talking like even if your bathroom faucet isn’t that bad like this one here, this is bad. If you have something like this, it’s probably time to change it, but maybe your faucet is just kind of… okay, it’s kind of just mediocre. I would really suggest getting a more stylish version because they’re not insanely expensive, it’s very quick to do, and it makes a huge impact.

Let’s talk about decorative tray tables.

• You can use these all throughout your home purely to contain clutter. It is such a cool trick.
• mention my next tip, which is trying to hide anything with loud labels. So the only thing that I put away from my nightstand were these trace mineral drops, which I love.
• . If you’re walking around your house and it’s just like bold labels, try to find a way to conceal it. So Kleenex boxes are a good example. You can get the tissue box covers or maybe hand soap or dish soap. Again, the labels are very colorful and loud, so you can get glass bottles instead.

Blue paisley, A beautiful print can also make your modern home look really expensive.

• You can decorate shelves, and you can decorate fireplaces. You can put these all throughout your home, and there are different heights, and I just think it’s such a classic print.
• decorative trays that also kind of have a blue paisley pattern to them.
• You can just contain items that you need every day, but once they’re on the tray, it just looks better.

Decorating your modern home with a vase

• I did mention decorating with vases or maybe larger home decor that is breakable. I totally understand why there’s a lot of people out there who are scared to decorate with that kind of thing because they have kids and it could get knocked over and they could get hurt. It totally makes sense.
• But I wanted to share this quake hole. This is museum putty. And it doesn’t damage the decor; it doesn’t damage the surface that it’s on, but if you just apply a little bit of this putty to the bottom of your vase or the bottom of your decor, you can then just stick it down onto a surface, and it’s not going anywhere.

using nice bath soaps

• They just look so much more luxurious than the pump kind of soap.
• They only come out once a year, so that’s why I had to tell you about this apple cider one because it smells so good. But right now, they have sprung out. So this is like peony, lilac, stuff like that. So, just something to think about.

We’re going to move on to the fireplace.

• It’s such an easy tip, but just simply decorate your fireplace with wood logs or any kind of decorative filler, really. So you can put them in a basket, or you can lay them inside the fireplace if you’re not using it.
• There’s so many different options, but it really does elevate the space and just make it feel warm and cozy. So this is just like a basket of wood logs, and I’ve had these for a long time.

The last tip is the dining room.

• You can really elevate your dining room table with candle holders. It’s so simple, but it just kind of adds that ambience to your dining room.
